but sometimes when i brake it feels like i hit a brickwall with my foot, its really tight yet, im not like close to threshold breaking or locking up the tires. my brake fluid is relly dirty though (black in color)

i think ill just do an overhaul, BLANKS all around!!!! yay!

Time to replace the pads! I got my Brembo blanks from Performance Parts Store for $52.00 for the front rotors, pus $20.00 for shipping. So I thought $62.00 was a good deal. If anyone wants to get the rotors just ask for Jessice@performancepartsstore.com, she hooked me up!
